User Manual

You can repeatedly apply half quantization until you are happy; you could for example ap-
ply it until the notes are close enough to the Step Grid to sound tight, but loose enough to
maintain their basic “feel.” If it is too quantized for you, just press UNDO to undo the last
change.
7.4.8 Doubling a Pattern
Your controller provides a useful shortcut to double the length and content of the current Pat-
tern. In the software, you can do this for example by copying all events, putting the Playhead
indicator at the end of the Pattern, and pasting the events (the Pattern Length is automatically
doubled).
7.4.8.1 Doubling a Pattern on Your MASCHINE STUDIO Controller
To double the length and content of a Pattern:
1. Hold PATTERN to enter Pattern mode.
2. Select the desired Pattern by pressing its pad.
3. Press Button 3 (DOUBLE).
→
The Pattern is doubled.
Keep in mind that doubling a Pattern twice results in a Pattern that is four times as long.
You can also double the selected Pattern in Pattern Arrange mode: press ARRANGE then
Button 2 (PATTERN) to enter Pattern Arrange mode, then press Button 8 (DOUBLE) to double
the selected Pattern.
7.5 Recording and Editing Modulation
One of the really cool features of MASCHINE is the ability to modulate nearly all MASCHINE
parameters both on the controller and in the software in a very easy way.
In MASCHINE, modulation means the automatic change of MASCHINE parameters from an in-
ternal source (e.g., manual changes recorded via Auto-write…). Value changes are:
